Conquer the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!

If you love excitement, challenges, and want breathtaking snowy views without traveling all the way to Europe, you must visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China!

Cable Car... To the Clouds!

At an altitude of 4,680 meters, the adventure begins with a ride on the Glacier Park Cableway, a large cable car that takes you up to a viewing point at 4,506 meters above sea level! The higher you go, the colder and more thrilling it gets!

The glass-like views along the way as the cable car ascends will reveal a panorama of snow-capped peaks resembling a white dragon slithering through the clouds. It's a view so stunning it will take your breath away!

Challenge the Heights at the Viewing Point!

Climb a bit further: After getting off the cable car, there's a long wooden staircase leading you to the highest accessible point at 4,680 meters (the mountain's peak is 5,596 meters). Though it might be tiring due to the thin air, the scenery of glaciers and clouds within arm's reach makes every step worth it!

Oxygen Tank is a Must! This is an essential item for all adventure enthusiasts! Don't forget to buy a portable oxygen tank (it's much cheaper to buy it before heading up the mountain) to help your body adjust and avoid fainting while capturing those stunning photos!

Blue Moon Valley: A Turquoise Lake!

Hidden Gem: After descending from the snowy peak, don't miss checking in at Blue Moon Valley, a basin formed by melting snow from the mountain.

Crystal-clear turquoise water: The lake's water is a beautiful turquoise blue, as clear as a painting, contrasting with the snowy mountain backdrop and lush green forests. It's a cool photo spot that gives off a European vibe without the long flight!

Prepare your body: Walk slowly and let your body adjust to the altitude. Avoid consuming alcohol before heading up the mountain.

Dress warmly: Be sure to bring winter clothes, hats, and gloves, as temperatures at the top can drop below freezing (and don't forget sunglasses, as the snow reflects strong UV rays!).

Book your cable car tickets in advance: Glacier Park cable car tickets often sell out quickly, so it's best to book at least 1-2 days in advance!

If you want to experience the grandeur of icy mountains and capture million-dollar views that will make your friends envious, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the ultimate destination!
